EFFECTS OF FERTILIZERS

o Groundwater

contamination due to

nitrogen fertilizers

o Results in acid rain.

o Leads to eutrophication

o Depletes the Quality of

the Soil

Some diseases caused due to them are

kidney failure , mental and physical growth,

haemoglobin deficiency and many more.

Continuous exposure to lead can cause

damage of kidneys, high blood pressure and

lowers the intelligence of children.

Arsenic present in fertilizers can causes

diseases such as skin cancer and cancer of

bladder.

Organic foods are tastier and provides all the nutrients required for humans health.

The usage of fertilizers in organic farming is limited and avoids risk to the people..

Biodiversity is improved and people do not use synthetic fertilizers.

Suits to the climate

35 million hectares land is under organic farming worldwide

4.4 million hectares in India

During 2008-09, India produced about 18.78 lakh tonnes of certified organic products. Out of this, nearly 54,000 tonne food items worth Rs. 591 crore were exported.

Fertilizer

1)How much time does the crops need to grow if its organic farming?

2)What are the crops you grow?

3)What are the effects of inorganic farming?

4)How often do you apply manure to the crops?

5)Which is the harvest time?

6)Which crops grow fast using organic fertilizers?

7)Do you use pesticides?

8)Which crops requires more attention?

Only countable farmers prefer organic farming

and rest prefer inorganic as per our survey.

Organic farming is very good for environment and

soil , climate and these products are very good

for health and environment.

People should prefer this because it is very good

and they should grow there own crops .

Finally we would like to say organic farming is

best.

SOLUTION

Awareness should be created among people about the organic farming and about the ill effects inorganic farming .

People can use water bottles and waste things to grow their own crops so that it is healthy .

Growing plants around the house gives more oxygen and healthy food

Government should encourage organic farming and some privileges to practise organic farming
